Join Forbes And Google For A Virtual Take Our Daughters And Sons To Work Day 2014

Thursday, April 24th marks the 21st anniversary of Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day. More than 37 million Americans at over 3.5 million workplaces participate in the annual event in the hopes of inspiring young people to explore new careers.

For students that are unable to visit their parents’ workplaces, Forbes and GoogleGoogle will be facilitating a series of virtual field trips to bring classrooms into the workplaces of some of the most interesting and exciting jobs today. Career professionals will detail their day-to-day roles, providing students and viewers access to a variety of careers in a whole new way. Highlights include ringing in the morning bell with NASDAQ in Times Square, engaging with a US Senator, exploring the world of entrepreneurs with the Ramen Burger chef, and sneaking behind the galleries of The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

This Thursday we will be hosting 18 live field trips on Google+ from 9am – 6pm ET. If you’re a student, parent or teacher, we encourage you to tune in to the topics that interest you. Most field trips are appropriate for all-ages, while a handful may be more interesting for high school students.

Below is a full list of events for the day. You can also check back to this page on Thursday for the livestreams.
